nightstand notes/ wanna view some reviews?

Hard to believe that the month is coming to an end, but here we are at 5 Minutes for Books' "What's on Your Nightstand?" again. I tried to get all fancy last month by putting seven books on my list, but I may have reached too far. One book had to be returned before I got to it, and one is still on the shelf, hoping to be cracked open soon. Perhaps I should be a little more judicious in my predictions for this month.

I'm looking at mostly books for reviews in the next month, and they look to be some good ones.

*We've Got Issues: Children and Parents in the Age of Medication-- I'm about halfway through this one right now and it's one of those books that causes me to jot bold exclamation points in the margin because of how close the text is hitting home. I can't wait to write a review, because this is a book that people need to read.

*The War of the Worlds-- I'm not so sure about this one, but I'm giving it a go for my online book club in April. I hope I don't end up believing it and freaking out.

Hopefully, six won't be too challenging a number to complete from now until this time next month. But with the oncoming beautiful weather and our migration to living at the playground during most waking hours, we shall see.

*The Secret Lives of Princesses-- not a book review, but a giveaway that ends TODAY for promotional puzzle cards in anticipation of this beautiful and totally unique picture book that releases in June.
